Applications are now open for the 2027 Nuffield Canada Scholarship, offering professionals in agriculture the chance to study global food systems through international travel and research.

The program is open to individuals between the ages of 25 and 50 working in agriculture, food or agribusiness. Selected scholars take part in a two-year program that includes at least 10 weeks of travel, along with independent research on a topic relevant to their work.

On this Rural Roots Canada podcast, hosts Tim Parent and Craig Lester kick things off talking about the latest on the New World screwworm situation in Texas and what it might mean for the Calgary Stampede. Then, a major digital upgrade for farmers and agronomists as Alberta's Crop Protection Guide - better known as the Blue Book - is now available through a mobile app, putting critical crop protection information at producers' fingertips. Finally, a conversation with Jenna Sarich, a 2025 Nuffield Canada scholar, to learn how the prestigious program is helping agricultural leaders expand their knowledge and bring a global perspective to Canadian agriculture.

The Calgary Stampede says it doesn't anticipate any disruptions to its Western Events programming due to the screwworm situation in Texas.

Last week, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) temporarily banned livestock from Texas after two confirmed cases of New World screwworm were found in two calves in the southern U.S. state. It says all livestock, including horses, originating from or present in Texas within 21 days before crossing the border, will not be accepted into the country.

For many farmers, the workday doesn't end when they leave the field, park the tractor or finish chores in the barn.

The farm is often their home, workplace and livelihood all at once. That connection can make it difficult to separate personal life from work.

That is one of the reasons Counselling Alberta offers a farm-informed counselling program designed specifically for agricultural producers and their families.
